As a former teacher, I always had PLENTY of notepads.
It's a good thing, too, because I love notepads.
My students gave me notepads.
The school district supplied me with notepads.
Book salesmen passed out notepads.
Sadly. . . . . most of my notepads were boring.
BUT not these days! Thanks to my friend Beverly of HOW SWEET THE SOUND, I have acquired a fondness for PINK notepads.
My friends know I'm now an official nut over PINK notepads. They give me lots of PINK notepads. . . . and I'm thrilled.
I also love PINK pens. In fact, I love PINK pens so much that I ordered a whole bunch of them to give to the friends who give me all of those PINK notepads. . . and to my customers at the sales I do!
PINK notepads are all over the house because they come in handy! Like the night my daughter stayed with us cuz she needed to be at a class bright and early the next morning and it was gonna last all day AND. . . . she needed me to dog sit.
When I got up the next morning, she was gone and Izzie was waiting in her cage for me. . . .
with this little PINK note because my daughter knew I would want to know if Izzie had been outside and if she had. . . .well, you know!!! :)
How could you not smile when this is what you see the first thing in the morning?
My smile grew even bigger when I realized I didn't have to take her outside right away, cuz that GOOD GIRL had already taken care of business!
THE STONE RABBIT loves to use the little PINK notes, too!!!!
I love it that the two of them have turned out to be such great pals!!
You won't believe your eyes when you visit HOW SWEET THE SOUND and see how many other bloggers are waiting with PINKS to share today!!!
Have fun visiting them and enjoy your Pink Saturday.
DANA
I of course, am drawn to pink notepads too! It makes leaving notes more fun.

I love notepads too! Especially pretty ones oh, and sticky ones. Everyone at our studio hates my sticky notes....guess I leave too many for them : ) Double bonus if you get pretty, sticky ones!
Happy PS! Don't you wish all this rain and thunderstorms would end? So tired of it!!

Hi Dana
I love all your pretty pink note pads. Funny, but today one of my friends gave me a pretty pink notepad with a pretty handmade pen with a huge pink rose on it.
Happy Pink Saturday and have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Ann

It must be a teacher thing-I love pretty notepads and writing paper! Mine doesn't have to be pink, though. Just any color and cute design will do.

Pink notepads are indeed a very good thing. You can definitely find notepads all around our home, too. I am a list maker.
Happy Pink Saturday, Dana.

I love pink note pads too but mine always disappear. I think they went somewhere with my missing pink sock!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Absolutely pinkly wonderful post! Just had me smiling and laughing. Hey, your daughter's dog seems to resemble our Dog Dude. If you have minute pop over and scroll down my side bar and see ... well, you might have to go to the pet tales label to see more to be sure. I think he's a Canaan dog but I'm not sure. Love your pink note post! Your daughter's note and yours ... Good dog. That's so funny! Love it! Thanks, happy Pink Saturday, Jenn.

Hi Dana, we are home and 'dog' tired. No pun intended. Smile! We drove most of the way home in driving rain. About 7 hours to get home in the rain.
This is the cutest post especially the pup. "I did both" Thank heavens. Cheri' is not always that co-operative. LOL
Notes are all important in this house. So much always going on.
I am going to bed. I'll send you an email tomorrow.
Love, Jeanne

good morning Dana, I arrived home on Sunday night and we have been running the roads to town everyday to do errands. We are having the truck, RV and car problems. what a pain. License plates inspections etc. The RV is fine, just a check on the slides etc. for our summer camping trip with the kids. Maintenance.
Our trip was so much fun, and I will post it later. Right now Bill is nagging me to get dressed for another run to town. sigh. I have hardly had time for my computer since I have been home. too tired at night this week. That trip was exhausting. My age??? Never. HA!
Love, jeanne
